The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Offences Commission (ICPC) has announced plans to push the introduction of anti-corruption studies in Nigeria’s tertiary institutions as part of efforts to end corrupt practices.

The chairman of the ICPC, Mr Ekpo Nta, on Wednesday in Abuja, told a delegation from the United Nations’ office on Drugs and Crimes about the plan.

Mr Nta stressed the need to arrest all forms of corrupt practices from the grass roots in line with the new vision of the commission to prevent corruption at all levels.

A former secretary of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr Emmanuel Akomaye, who led the delegation, stressed the need for effective peer review mechanism among countries determined to stamp out corruption.
